KU's bench 3, TCU's bench 34. Yes, with JJ playing, Vick would added 9 points to the bench total. Guys were gassed - LL asked for a blow, same with Frank. Afraid this will hurt us again at some point.

Self practically had to play him late, but Svi cost us in the end. A supposed shooter missing 2 of 4 free throws, his bad turnover in the lane @1:10 that led to 2 points for TCU and then fouling the 3 point shooter with the game tied at the end. He simply can't be on the floor late. Give me anyone but him late.

I know, others missed plays late, too. But as much as Svi got us started, in the end he stopped us.

And the first game is a cupcake.

This is all part of a "bigger plan"

Kudos to Frank, DeVante, LaGerald, and Landon (And even Svi for his early 3 pointers.) for hanging tough despite their fatigue and the obvious goofups--thanks a lot, Carlton--by our bench.

I'm sorry Lightfoot didn't get more chances; he can't improve without playing time, IMHO.

I'm also sorry about Self's temper resulting in the slimy toads getting those 3 points. I don't think the call was a mistake. (But then, what do I know.)

I'm disgusted with Jackson's behavior on the bench. He didn't seem ashamed at all; he even was calling advice out to Svi, as if he had any right to do so. Too bad Self probably has to start him in our first NCAA tournament game.

I'm glad we now have time to rest, heal, and re-group before the Big Dance.

It's a 40 minute game.
